Nestled in the heart of Cape Town’s vibrant Kloof Street, Aruba introduces a refreshing blend of Mediterranean cuisine infused with Caribbean flair.
This tapas-style eatery, envisioned by friends Daniel Kruger and Murray Hunter-Smith, offers a laid-back yet chic dining experience that evokes the feeling of a tropical getaway.
The inception of Aruba was serendipitous. Daniel, with long-held aspirations of opening a restaurant, stumbled upon the perfect location during a drive. A fortuitous coffee meeting with Murray the following morning initiated the process. Without the aid of interior designers, the duo meticulously crafted every aspect of the restaurant‘s ambiance, ensuring it resonated with their personal tastes and vision.
Aruba’s vibrant interiors, highlighted by a striking blue bar and thoughtfully curated spaces, transport diners to a resort-like atmosphere. Daniel describes it as an ‘all-inclusive resort’ experience, aiming to make patrons feel as though they’re on a holiday.
The communal setting is further enhanced by plans for neighbouring establishments to open soon, sharing the inviting outdoor balcony space.
For those seeking a unique dining adventure that combines flavourful dishes with a relaxed, vacation-inspired setting, Aruba stands out as a must-visit destination on Kloof Street.
